    I'm off tomorrow headed to VT for camping. So it is essentially Friday!

    From the can, the best of their hop lineup.

    Mountain State Brewing Co. -- Miner's Daughter
    Oatmeal stout
    ABV: 5.2%; pouring temperature: 43 °F; canning info: n/a
    Source: @DoctorZombies

    [​IMG]

    3.54/5 rDev +1.4%
    look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5

    Dark brown pour, clear, nearly black in the glass; thick, sudsy head (a bit over-carbonated). Nice charred grain scent; a little minty; low-key chocolate. Nice but watery taste; light chocolate; minty spiciness; very light grain char; little bitterness. Light body; a bit flat.

    This is a stout I'd like to love, but its inherent weaknesses prevent that. It has a lot of potential, but most aspects seem rather weak and underplayed. The taste, especially, has real promise. I think a stronger, bolder body (i.e., mouthfeel) would really help this beer. Especially for being an oatmeal stout, it's baffling why there's not more 'oomph' to this beer.

    Currently we are laughing our guts out reading the reviews of perhaps the worst brewery/restaurant in America - Estes Park Brewery…my friend came home and has been sick to the stomach all afternoon long…want a laugh? Look up the reviews for this horrid brewery!

    Me? The the beer was undrinkable and the food just as bad…we’re still laughing reading 19 pages of one star reviews…

    Cheers gang!

    I really love Willie’s Stardust Album

    Cold Time lager from Revolution. A favorite of @ChicagoJ if memory serves.

    I believe this is their take on High Life, but I like this better. Draft only, sadly.

    Yeah. He is a really good, experienced, entertainer. And he knows, and shows appreciation for, those upon whose shoulders he stands.

    Not exactly NOW, but not too many minutes ago...

    Enjoying Belknap Pils, and great conversation, while meeting up with @Ocalafox for the first time. So glad it worked out, and truly a pleasure.

    Sorry @TCgenny , I guess I broke the recent streak of Advocate pics. Such a photo op was mentioned but forgotten in the end... Ooops! Next time for sure.

    Cheers BAs!

    Finally a day I can open the windows, smoke is gone and some thunder breezes are passing. Smells like dirt and hay, weird. Miller moths have been held in check, learned years ago not to have any outside lights on and to open crappy screen door near the main room (lights) from the outside, haha.

    Just did a quick review of Narrragansett- 3.77, wow, way above the standard deviation. I like it for what it is. Need to try Coors Banquet again, I did like it for what it is as well.

    Remembering Tina Turner
    may have to put a playlist together for walks.

    Walked up to Lake front after talking about metal and theater with a dude at the war memorial beer garden.

    I love this place already. Super rustic. We missed the beer tour by two minutes but we need to come back. So much brewery to see.

    They had a ginger pear seltzer on cask so I had to try as I've not had hand pull for years, and it was awesome. Super clean crisp and flavorful. Julia got the gose a Rita which is also awesome and not overly lactic. 4.1

    Looks like you are having a lot of fun, cheers!

    Fun people in MKE. Reminds me of a business trip to an account in MKE, we wrapped up business in an hour, went to a great pub for lunch, then headed over to the opening day Brewers game. Brats with stadium sauce indoctrination. I was a convert, haha. Then off to an after game bar playing pool. And then I had to hop back on a plane to Dallas. What a day!
